Love thyself, so that you can love another. Love thyself so that you cannot project fear. Love thyself so as to let others love you. Love thyself so as to let people near.
People will treat you the way YOU treat you.
Whoever said happiness needs a plan?
No amount of self-improvement can make up for any lack of self-acceptance.
You can make anything out of anything.
A job is a sacrifice. Following an interest - that's a contribution. And we're here on the planet, not to sacrifice ourselves, but to make a contribution.
